well i know JE will make custom pistons so i'll have them do the pistons. rods i havent really checked out much. i havent done a whole lot of research on anything yet. right now i'm thinkin JE pistons, Crower rods, and Darton sleeves. but i'm not sure if Crower makes rods for the F23 or Darton makes sleeves for it. i'll have to do more research

i didnt install my turbo. a shop said they would for $200 so i said go for it. i've done all the other work. the interooler fit fine. everything from the kit fit fine except the filter. i couldnt get the pipe to fit so i just have the filter clamped right to the turbo. which isnt bad cause its right behind the fan so its getting cold air

i drove around without goin to the dyno for about 6 months. it ran fine. but my first run i put out 185hp. after the hour at the dyno i finished with 221hp. now i did give it more boost. but still. its a ton different now

i raced an older 82-86 Supra last night. shifting at 4800 each time and giving it about 60-70% throttle i had about 3 cars on him up to 70
